First of all sorry for my English because I'm Brazilian ...
I bought this unit a few weeks ago (operator Claro) and fell in love with him. I saw that I can upgrade this machine to get even greater performance to what I have right now. In my country does not have this update (just speculation) but if you do this update, I will lose my warranty. I am afraid of this happening and therefore wanted to backup the ROM of this unit. Is there any procedure to make easy explanation, like the ROM manager, because this software is not the model of my machine. Can anyone help me?
In Portuguese
Comprei algumas semanas atrás este aparelho (operadora Claro) e me apaixonei por ele. Vi que posso atualizar este aparelho para obter um desempenho ainda superior ao que tenho neste momento. Em meu país ainda não tem esta atualização (só especulação) porém se fizer esta atualização vou perder a minha garantia. Tenho medo de acontecer isto e por isto queria fazer o backup da ROM deste aparelho. Existe algum procedimento de facil explicação para fazer, igual a ROM manager, pois este software não tem o modelo de meu aparelho. Alguem pode me ajudar?
Hi,
First of all welcome to the world of SGS 3 on XDA.
About you loosing your warranty by flashing is not correct as long as you flash a ROM properly and which is meant for your phone and region.
And there's no current way of backing up Full ROM yet. But you can get backup of all your apps using titanium backup and if you want to get back to stock just flash back the ROM you have currently and you can get any ROM from samfirmware.com.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check the website and download the ROM. Then I will take courage and do the upgrade to 2.2 ...
Hello, my milestone 2 is with the rentail official rom, version 2.3.6 of Brazil. And currently I am interested in two customs roms:
cm72-111215.1631-nightly-Milestone2-GB-v1.3 and Argen2Stone30. Both for GB kernel.
I can restore these roms on my phone without problems? Argen2Stone30 recommends version 2.3.4 rentail UK to apply the path, but is it really necessary? Multiupload is offline now and I can not download the 2.3.4 UK.
Thanks for the help.
I am writting this with A3S with 2.3.6
Works ok
Sorry my bad english

Hello friend. Really thanks for the reply.
Here's an error happening when I perform the restore with ArgentoStone 3.
After checking the checksum (nandroid.md5), an restoration error occurs.
The ArgentoStone's zip not have a boot.img. So I tried to restore this file by ClockworkMod. But this procedure also resulted in an error when writing the file.
You had to do something more besides restore using nandroid?
See you soon and thanks for the help.
I had no problems with the installation.. perhaps the file was corrupt in the downloading..
Download again the zip and then try to restore again the nandroid using "Advance Restore"...
BTW waht version of cwm do you have? because I used cwm 5 to restor the nand..
and the A3S's zip not have a boot.img because is only a System nand..
Version 5??
Hey I'm still using version 3.1.0.0 that came with the Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
You installed your ClockworkMod directly by Rom Manager?
Probably this is the reason for my restoration errors.
Is there any difference between using the Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap or Rom manager?
I think i can't update the ClockworkMod of Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap to version 5.
Really thanks for the help.
Hello, I updated the Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap to version 1.0.0.5 and the CWM has been updated automatically.
Now the restore process works normally.
Even so the rom did not work.
Wipe the cache, wipe davik, wipe the battery, after that apply the restoration.
When I restart the phone, the animation boot of ArgentoStone appears, but the boot of operating system does not occur.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Hello, I'm here with the same problem... I upated my MS2 2.2 Retail to the 2.3.6 BR official from Moto and now I need a call recorder, that in MS2 just have at a CM7 Custom Rom, but I'm serching a way to downgrade to 2.2 and later install the CM7 with a native Call Recorder and I really started to think that it's impossible!
I really don't know what to do... I need this call recorder because I'm being threatened by my lawyer and I have to record all calls... I'm thinking in buy an other smartphone today to get this function.... Please, help me!

If you have bootloader 3, you can try Endless7 downgrade method... see the topic to learn how to check and downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
Amigos brasileiros, como meu ingRês é "very worst" vou "falar" em português mesmo.
Tive o mesmo problema, usava a CM7 e adorava , mas achei a bateria estava durando muito pouco, e instalei via RSD a 2.3.6 no milestone 2, mas no primeiro dia já me arrependi, ontem tentei voltar pra cm7, instalei o bootstrap recovery, dei o boot recovery por ele, instalei o bootmenu, mandei instalar a CM7 e aparentemente tinha funcionado, quando dei o reboot ... nada feito, ele não inicia, vc repara que o backlight acende, a tela fica levemente iluminada mas ele não faz nada, fica mortão, aí fui pelo RSD de novo instalar a 2.3.6 e ele recuperou a instalação anterior, com todos os apps e configurações, ou seja, nem chegou a instalar a cm7 só deve ter corrompido algo do boot.
Estou desde ontem procurando uma solução e achei esse tópico "Tutorial: Custom Rom Para Milestone 2 Com Rom Retail 2.3.6" no androidz.com.br, mas aqui no trabalho não tenho como fazer, e os links de download estão quebrados ... como sou novo, não posso postar o link aqui.

wow Thank you.
According to this tutorial, it is still necessary to perform the downgrade kernel to install these custom roms.
Arriving home, I'll try to install the rom cm72-111215.1631-nightly-Milestone2-GB-v1.3 without performing the downgrade to see if it works.
If not work, I think the downgrade is my last option. XD
Thank you.
wow Obrigado.
Segundo esse tutorial, ainda é necessario realizar o downgrade de kernel para se instalar essas custom roms.
Chegando em casa eu irei testar instalar a rom cm72-111215.1631-nightly-Milestone2-GB-v1.3 sem realizar o downgrade, para ver se isso funciona.
Caso não funcione, creio que o downgrade seja a minha ultima opção. XD
Obrigado.
The cm72-111215.1631-nightly-GB-v1.3-Milestone2 really did not work applied directly on the 2.3.6 rom rentail BR. I believe I'll try to downgrade now.
JoseBerga, you really could do this process? Whenever I try, the system does not boot.
Thanks.

We can not install custom nor earlier original roms directly over original GB due to lack of signatures on it. Endless7 method uses a chinese rom with all the required signatures to allow downgrade, follow it (unless you are in VIVO GB).

Thanks, now I understand.
So, I just do the downgrade of the endless, then the installation of CyanogenMod will work, right?
I think this method will not do the installation of ArgentoStone work, since it is a different build.
Many people are having the same problem that I with ArgentoStone and nobody knows how to solve it.
According to the forum, it should work normally on 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 UK BR.
If someone needs the sbf 2.3, to install ArgentoStone. Here are some links, as Multiupload is offline.

I dont know anything about CM because I never install that rom..
But I'm still using A3S in 2.3.6 kernel... I use last version of 2nd init port to defy by walter79 (from MS2Ginger rom), I not use Droid 2 recovery bootstrap..

There's the lates bootmenu, just install it in CWM. As for the bootlooping, you might have to wipe your data,cache and dalvik after you install the bootmenu...
Some time ago I read on a site about the import manager of MIUI.
Could someone tell me if is possible to install the CM7?
Sorry for my bad English.

Algum tempo atrás li em um site sobre a importação do gerenciador da MIUI.
Alguém poderia me informar se é possível a instalação na CM7?
Me desculpem pelo meu péssimo inglês.

Have you tried installing a backup app (like Titanium Backup) to backup the apk that you want and then install it on the CM7?
----------------------------------
Mermão, tenta baixar o Titanium Backup, faz o backup do apk que tu quer e depois instala no CM7, fiz assim com o Music.
Give this one a try. I haven't tried myself.

Thanks for the help.
It worked perfectly the last version available for download.
v2.3.7.23 : MiFileExplorer_2.3.7.23_new_build_root_option_fixed.apk
It is possible to upgrade from CM12 to CM12.1 with CWM keeping the app
if so, how do i
Como sei que és tuga, vou responder em português e deixar o texto em inglês em baixo, para que os outros possam ler.
Eu acho que sim, que pode fazer isso, mas não digo que seja aconselhável, pois a probabilidade de a ROM ser ainda mais instável é ainda maior.
O que eu recomendo é que install a stock ROM usando o ODIN, obtenha acesso root, instale a recovery e depois sim, instale a ROM. Deste modo, a ROM terá menos bugs
Espero ter ajudado
As I know you are portuguese, I'll answer in portuguese and leave the answer in english below, so other users can read it.
I think yes, you can do that, but I don't recommend doing it, because the chances of the ROM become more instable are bigger.
What I recommend is to flash stock ROM first using ODIN, gain root access, install a custom recovery and then flash the ROM. This way, the ROM will be more bugless.
Hope I helped

Do DATA backup in TWRP.
REstore backup of DATA after first boot.
It CAN work but it does not mean it WOULD.
I guess it is 60% chance to work that way.

I'm having a lot of problems trying to restore the rom of my xt1640, everything started after an update the device simply shut down and died, I still managed to resuscitate but I can not reinstall the rom of it, it shows failure on all the commands and it does not leave the screen I have tried a lot of stuff until I paid for a programmer to try to restore it, but without success so far, the error that shows is (FAILED (REMOTE FAILURE)) if someone has already gone through this and managed to solve it, please help here , I no longer know what to do to get my device back and I'm honestly unable to buy another. I already downloaded several Roms to see if I had any compatible with my device but so far nothing. Please, I need a lot of help, thanks in advance for anybody who makes themselves available and read this post and try to help me. thank you.
@alanpereira hello and welcome, please be so kind and edit your post and add at least an English translation cause it's an English forum(see forum rules) :good:
I'm sure you'll receive help faster
Can you please confirm if you also get an error of security version downgrade???
If yes, It seems you are flashing old firmware on your device..
Try this, if you have not.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761
Flash the ROM and bootloader from above link..
For gpt.bin, go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/ota-february-2018-npjs25-93-14-15-t3770286
Download this file and extract only gpt.bin and flash it...
Flash gpt.bin first and then bootloader, then reboot to bootloader and then flash stock rom!
I'm having quite the same issue... first, I tried to root my xt1640 and it has bricked.. I was able to install stock rom nougat, then I did an OTa update and it has bricked again, this time I couldn't even enter bootloader, then I followed this guide forum.xda-developers.com/mot...guide-t3657761
I entered some kind of a bootloader with "start", then, when I try to flash gpt.bin, I get an error with the warning "Security version downgrade" and after that, a failed message... I tried lots of gpt's with no success!
estou com o mesmo problema alguem conseguiu resouver?

You are trying to flash an older version of Stock ROM.
Use the latest fastboot Stock ROM from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
